Tell us about Sun Valley:

Sun Valley has amazing access to almost anything a person passionate about getting outdoors could want: a mountain with great terrain and no lift lines, miles upon miles of mountain bike trails, two super fun skateparks, mountain lakes and rivers, and fresh air.

A perfect day?

A late spring day starting off with a coffee and trip to the dog park. Then head up to Bald Mountain to slash around on the slush, followed by a quick tailgate session with friends in the Greyhawk parking lot. Then over to the Ketchum skatepark to roll around with a super hyped crew until sunset. Round out the day with dinner and a couple beers at any of the great spots in town all within a mile of home.

What is the best thing about Sun Valley?

How much you can do in one day.

What is the worst?

It’s not always the easiest place to get to and from but that is what keeps it from changing.

What would be surprising about Sun Valley to an outsider?

That it is so uncrowded.
